So, we almost derailed another thread by veering the discourse toward good places to get a great steak. What are some of yours? Being a Seattle boy, I've a soft spot for the Keg on Roosevelt as it was good and affordable (to say nothing of making an absolutely kick-ass Caesar salad.) We did Ruth's Chris once after I got a big royalty check and even splitting a steak and just having a couple of sides, the tab was like eighty bucks. It was good, but not THAT good. If I'm spending eighty bucks on dinner thirty years ago, there better be lobster medallions on my steak and there weren't.
I don't know if they still exist, but our go-to was always the Black Angus, it went pretty far downhill after owner Stuart Anderson sold out to a corporation, but in its glory days it was fantastic. As for what we have here, we have the damn Sizzler, which I think is vile, but Kathy loves it. I usually think places that provide a taco corner at the salad bar are pretty great, as it seems a very thoughtful thing to do, (sometimes you want a bit more than just salad, but don't really want a full entree, the taco corner is perfect for such times), unfortunately, I think Sizzler uses roadkill as the meat for their taco corner. Whatever it is, it tastes like nothing I've ever had before or ever want to experience again. Just nasty, (which is my general opinion of the Sizzler).
